Introduction

What?
FAST = FormAtting inputs Simply for comet and model Tools
FAST = Excel template + 1 new menu (called... FAST!)
FAST can be used to feed COMET, MODEL and LKB tools
FAST is a 2G tool
Why?
Speeds up the BSS dimensioning process
There are less and less projects for new 2G networks...
...but more and more for network extensions, densification...
...or EDGE activation!
Allows the designer to focus on his design rather than on his tools
When?
FAST is adapted:
For a project with an existing network
To generate quickly some rough BSS design from scratch

2. Copy the format to all new lines
3. Use the Automatic fill names function

input file
4) Enter the name of the input sheet
Import
5) For each field to be
imported, select the
appropriate column of the
input sheet thanks to the
scrolling list

6) To select optional fields,
first unclick Not available

7) If suitable, overwrite the
imported region, morpho,
transport mode or phase
values

8) Note that each cell can be
split among 2 cabinets (with a
maximum of 4 cabinets per
site)
Import

9) If suitable, indicate the
default BSS release to be
used (+ TRX class if B8)

Import
Inputs sheet rules
Data are imported in the following order
Site name ascending order
Then Cell name ascending order

Region
If the Region field is selected when performing import, but the input file contains no
Region indicated for any cell of a site, then the default value Region 1 is imported
for this site

BSC Area / Region / Phase / Morpho / SUM board / Cabinet Type /
Coordinates
If two cells of the same site dont have the same BSC Area / Region / Phase / Morpho
/ SUM board / Cabinet Type / Coordinates, a warning is displayed
Import
Details (1/3)

Imported values are
if Traffic Profile option selected through import interface : Traffic Profile name
associated to the cell in the input file
if Default BSS selected through import interface :
if B8 selected : Clx, x in [1,5]
else : selected BSS release (B6, B7, B9, B10 MR1, B10 MR2, B11 MR1, B11 MR2 and
B12)

Imported values are

Automatic fill Names
4
Automatic fill Names

For each site (i.e. each row) of the Site
BoQ sheet
Compute the cell Profile name as
previously described (see slide 13)
Compute the extended Site Type name as
previously described (see slide 11)
Check Inputs
5
Check Inputs

BoQ sheet, check the correctness of the
values, as previously indicated in
Site BoQ details (see slides 10-16)
Site BoQ rules (see slides 17-20)
Replace DCS-only by GSM
6
Replace DCS-only by GSM

BoQ sheet, check if all its cells are DCS-
only ones (Frequency Band = DCS or
dcs1800).
If yes, change them to GSM-only ones
(Frequency Band = GSM)

Traffic Profiles
7
Traffic Profiles (1/3)

When no info available on the traffic profile, use the default traffic profile
Three traffic profiles (Conservative, Standard, Aggressive) are predefined in
the tool
See (hidden) Low, Medium and High sheets for more details
If info available, edit your own traffic mix:
As many as needed
Each cell has a traffic profile

The Traffic profiles function initializes the
content of the Traffic Profiles sheet with the
pre-defined traffic profile selected by the user.

This pre-defined profile can then be manually
modified, duplicated (column copy/past), and
copies can be manually modified again

Finally, one Traffic Profile shall be defined for
each Traffic Profile name indicated in the Site
BoQ sheet

Each Traffic Profile is associated to a Cell Profile

For each Traffic Profile duplicated from a pre-defined one (column copy/paste),
following values are automatically computed according to the associated Cell
Profile name :
# TRX : value indicated by the 2 first digits of the Cell Profile name
Incl. # DR TRX : value indicated by the 2 digits after the first .
# TRX (inner) : value indicated by the 2 digits after the -
Incl. # DR TRX (inner) : value indicated by the 2 digits after the . following the -
Concentric/Multiband Cell :
Multiband : Cell Profile name with -, outer zone GSM (g), inner zone DCS (d)
Concentric : Cell Profile name with -, and not in previous case
None : other cases
Frequency Band : Band1 if outer zone GSM (g), Band2 else
Populate LKB
8
Populate LKB (1/2)

A LKB profile is pre-defined in the tool for each of the following couples (4 * 13 =
52 profiles) :
Frequency Bands :
850, 900, 1800, 1900
Morpho :
BU (BUildings), MU (MeanUrban), SU (SubUrban), DU (DenseUrban), RE (Residential),
VL (ViLlage), RU (RUral), IS (InduStrial), OU (OpeninUrban), FR
(FoRest), PK (ParKs), OA (OpenArea), WT (WaTer)
See (hidden) LKB Parameters sheet for more details
Populate LKB (2/2)

Associate default pre-defined LKB Profile(s) (Outer or Inner + Outer) to each
cell, and add this (those) pre-defined LKB profile(s) in the LKB Profiles sheet (if
not already existing)
LKB Profile(s) is (are) associated to a cell only if TRXs are defined for this cell
Following rules are applied according to Frequency Band :
GSM, p_gsm, e_gsm : LKB_900_morpho
DCS, dcs1800 : LKB_1800_morpho
gsm_dcs, e_gsm_dcs :
LKB Outer Profile : LKB_900_morpho
LKB Inner Profile : LKB_1800_morpho
Prepare COMET/ MODEL/ LKB import
9
Prepare COMET / MODEL / LKB import

Fills in COMET import template (Excel file)
Cell Profiles sheet
Site Type sheet
Fills in MODEL import template (Excel
file)
DimInput sheet
Site BoQ sheet

Fills in Link Budget import template (Excel
file) with all the used LKB Outer and LKB
Inner Profiles from LKB Profiles sheet

Warning : Be sure to be
